There is this atheist swimming in the ocean.
All of the sudden he sees this shark in the water, so he starts swimming towards his boat.
As he looks back he sees the shark turn and head towards him. His boat is a ways off and he starts swimming like crazy. He's scared to death, and as he turns to see the jaws of the great white beast open revealing its teeth in a horrific splendor.
The atheist screams, "Oh God! Save me!"
In an instant time is frozen and a bright light shines down from above. The man is motionless in the water when he hears the voice of God say, "You are an atheist. Why do you call upon Me when you do not believe in Me?"
Aghast with confusion and knowing he can't lie the man replies, "Well, that's true I don't believe in you, but how about the shark? Can you make the shark believe in you?"
The Lord replies, "As you wish," and the light retracted back into the heavens and the man could feel the water begin to move once again.
As the atheist looks back he can see the jaws of the shark start to close down on him, when all of sudden the shark stops and pulls back.
Shocked, the man looks at the shark as the huge beast closes its eyes and bows its head and says,
"Thank you Lord for this food for which I am about to receive..."

This is a Joke
This was based on a Question asked by the ABC NightLine Crew to the Leading Atheist Grps. As to y Most Atheists say Oh God When they dont believe in Such thing.

Good point ... there are many other Qs too! but for you and me being believers maybe theres no use of these kinds of jokes in less you had some other intentions ... I hope you got my point on the "respectful" thing ... thanks for your hard work & understanding...

well...I think its just a joke and dont take it to your heart. I am sure NNL does not mean to disrespect anyone. I took it as a joke and no second thoughts about that.

I believe in God ,so I get if someone mocks at his existence!
Atheists have a freedom of speech? Believers too have that right

guysss...sometimes we may find ourselves out of religion unintentionally and unknowingly bc of these kind of things...and we are warned abut this in holy books and sayings of prophets...so although God knows whats in our hearrts and behaves us that way...and although He knows this was a joke ...still I think Hes soooooooooo soooo soo soo great to be put in jokes so Im on the side

i think you guys are missing the punch line of the joke. it's directed at the atheist, not at God.
secondly, don't take it literally.....the mod. who posted it meant no intention of offending anyone or pointing at any particular group or people. in fact, i think NNL was just sharing what happened on Nightline when they were questioning atheists and their use of the commonly used phrase by all of us "oh God". i think you're missing the context of the situation.
in fact, this joke shouldn't even be taken as humor, rather it's showing the irony of this sort of a situation and the beliefs of atheists. it's not directed at God at all.
